My Portland Oregon practice is dedicated to supporting your relationship with food, fitness and body image, where HOW we eat is AS important as WHAT and how we move in our bodies is how we live in life. As a food coach and personal trainer I take a wholeself wellness approach on the critical relationship between HOW we engage with food and how healthy and happy we are and how we spend time in our bodies. Think of me as part Michael Pollan, part Bob Harper, part Jan “Chosen” Bays and part Rachel Ray.
So, if you’re tired of dieting, depriving yourself or feeling guilty about food- KNOW YOURSELF- NO(t) DIETS
If you’ve read every book and tried every program without success- CHANGE FROM AN INNER PLACE
If you’re not feeling or moving your best in your body- LET’S MOVE BETTER
My unique, wholistic and client centered approach helps you develop a balanced relationship with food, fitness and body image for life. This isn’t a weight loss diet or body transformation program. My unique style is a blend of experiential coaching and training – this means you learn by doing. Like the Native American Proverb says, “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may not remember, involve me and I will understand.” Under my direct guidance you will learn by participating in and practicing the exact skills you need to be successful. We will spend time shopping, cooking, moving and eating together, so you can develop a lifestyle for long-term success. This will gradually lead to weight loss, improved self esteem, fitness, and an overall sense of well-being for your WholeSelf.
I appreciate that on your journey, many thoughts, feelings, ideas and emotions are going to arise that are unique and powerful because they will arise WHILE you are interacting with food. l will counsel, coach and support you in a kind, non-judgmental way that is reflective and puts you in charge. This humanistic approach is vital because the emotional, spiritual and energetic hurdles are what so often keep you from applying the knowledge, skills and desire you already have for success. This approach allows my coaching and counseling skills to combine with the practical acts of shopping, cooking, moving and eating, allowing them to become both process and practice for your WholeSelf relationship with food, fitness and body image.
HOW DOES THIS EXACTLY WORK?
Whether individually or in small groups, we’ll shop at any store you’d like, cook at your home or mine, and practice mindful eating anywhere, including at any restaurant of your choice. Our workouts can be held at your home, a park or at my training facility. There are few limits on how you and I can work as a team to personalize this process. For those of you outside of the Portland Metro area, please know that much of my work can still be done via Skype.
In addition, I am available for workshops, classes, seminars, and speaking events as well as professional development for coaches, trainers and health and wellness providers.
Please schedule your complimentary 30 minute consultation for us to get to know each other and see if the chemistry is right.
